Hamsa

A while back I created a necklace for a customer; a sterling silver little hand of fatima also called Hamsa casted in resin. I didn't create the little hand ... I wish I could :D ... it was bought from aonother shop. The hamsa (meaning lit. "five") is a palm-shaped amulet popular throughout North Africa mainly in Tunisia, and commonly used in jewellery and wall hangings. Depicting the open right hand, an image recognized and used as a sign of protection in many societies throughout history, the hamsa provides superstitious defense against the evil eye. Here are some pictures of the custom creation:

Twee Surinamers...

Twee Surinamers lopen in het oerwoud.
Opeens wordt een van hen in z'n l.l gebeten door een slang. Hij roept verschrikt tegen z'n maat: "ga gauw een dokter halen". De ander komt hijgend bij de dokter aan en vertelt wat er met z'n maat gebeurd is.
"Tja, zegt de dokter, daar is maar een remedie tegen: het gif uitzuigen" "En als ik dat niet doe?" vraagt de man "Dan gaat 'ie dood" zegt de dokter ernstig. De man holt weer gauw terug naar zijn maat. En, wat zei de dokter?" vraagt het slachtoffer kreunend. Waarop zijn maat antwoordt: "JE GAAT DOOD JONGEN!"

A, B, C

After being married for thirty years, a wife asked her husband to describe her.
He looked at her for a while ... then said, "You're A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J, K."
She asks ... "What does that mean?"
He said, "Adorable, Beautiful, Cute, Delightful, Elegant, Foxy, Gorgeous, Hot.
She smiled happily and said ... "Oh, that's so lovely ... What about I, J, K?"
He said, "I'm Just Kidding!"
The swelling in his eye is going down and the doctor is fairly optimistic about saving his testicles.
